“I’m trying to bulk up and just focus on me and my development, carrying that load,” he said.
“It’s hard battling 300-pound guys at 245 pounds every week,” Parsons added.Â
“So, I’m just trying to put (on) five pounds of muscle. Just eating right and just living right.”

“It just allows me to study. Instead of studying everything, I can just study that one guy I just need to beat on Sunday, studying how to win faster,” Parsons said. “Before I was focused on a lot, focused on running backs and focused on receivers and focused on concepts. Now I can just focus on running [to the quarterback] and stopping the run. I’m ready to show what I can do.”
